About
A Moment for RTR
At Root to Rise Psychotherapy + Wellness, a virtual mental health clinic, we provide a modern and personalized approach to therapy. Our mission is to offer transformative psychotherapy and psychological services in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Specializing in empowering clients to strengthen coping skills, enhance confidence, cultivate self-awareness, and nurture self-love, we are dedicated to supporting individuals in processing trauma and navigating life transitions.
Our comprehensive services cater to diverse needs, including specialized support for first responders, frontline healthcare workers and their families, women's health, addiction and substance use, stress and anxiety management, coping strategies, sports performance psychology, and assistance for high school and university students. Root to Rise integrates these specialized services within a compassionate framework that respects each client's journey toward healing and personal growth.
Guided by principles of empathy, inclusivity, and integrity, we engage clients with non-judgmental curiosity, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and healing. We celebrate and affirm the identities and backgrounds of all clients, striving to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels respected and understood.
Collaboration is fundamental to our practice. We work alongside clients to co-create meaningful therapeutic relationships that support their growth and well-being. Embracing innovation and ongoing education, we continuously evolve to provide effective and relevant support.
At Root to Rise, we honor the therapeutic relationship as a profound tool for healing, nurturing a supportive environment where clients reclaim autonomy and agency in their lives. Through loving presence and organicity, we guide clients towards holistic wellness and self-discovery, promoting resilience and empowerment in every client we serve.
Perhaps even more valuable than our team’s strong clinical skills and specializations is our shared progressive outlook on how important it is that therapists show up as humans who genuinely care and feel deeply about you and your feelings — we are not blank slates, we are not robots, we are humans who experience hardships, conflicts, stressors and trauma too and this supports us in facilitating a safe and magical space for you to process and heal alongside us
